Whether it is the height of the city or the defense ability of the city, it is hoped that it can be greatly improved.

Fortunately, Qin Xiu has been looking for a lot of folk or official architectural masters some time ago, and with the help of the system, after constantly copying architectural skills, now Qin Xiu already has super architectural skills.

Hearing that Qin Xiu was going to rebuild a bigger city wall beyond the tall walls of the city, the people in the city were embarrassed-

"Wouldn't this Qin City Lord also be a guy who works hard and wastes money!"

"It's hard to say, looking at the current situation, it may not be much better than his predecessor. ”

"You say a good city, why do you want to rebuild it, so I don't know how much more taxes and miscellaneous taxes you have to pay, and life will be even more difficult!"

"But no, the previous city lord has already collected a lot of money and grain in order to let the barbarian wolf clan retreat, although the bulk of it is donated by the rich merchants and wealthy families in the city, but we civilians have also contributed money and food, and when the city is built this time, we don't know how much we have to pay!"

"You people, you really don't know the hearts of good people, don't you know?"

"What do you know? Lao Guo, you can tell everyone. ”

"Okay, I'll just give the catastrophe a few small talks, do you know why this new Qin City Lord wants to build a new city wall?"

"Why?"

"As you know, not long ago, the trebuchet of the Barbarian Wolf Clan made the city around our Wangcheng in pieces, even if it is repaired, I am afraid it will cost a lot of silver taels, in addition, have you seen the castle built by the Qin City Lord?"

"Castle, if it would be too expensive to rebuild the old wall, this is reasonable, but what is the castle you are talking about, and what does it have to do with our construction of the city?"

"Castle! This is used by General Qin to set up military camps in several surrounding cities, and in the vicinity of Lingxing City, Fengchang City, Yuncheng Great Wall, and Zhounan City, a small castle was established there in the name of Lalian, as a station. ”

"Oh! There is such a thing, I don't know how Lingxing City, Fengchang City, Yunchang City, and Zhounan City would be willing to let the Qin City Lord send troops to garrison there?"

"Hey, that's what they discussed with the city lord of Qin earlier, and invited the city lord of Qin to help them garrison troops nearby, which was used to calm the hearts of the people in the city, otherwise the people in the city would have run out long ago. ”

"What does that have to do with our rebuilding of the city. ”

"The relationship is big, after the city lord of Qin built a few castles nearby, the city lords in the vicinity were all red-eyed, hoping that the city lord of Qin could help them build a city, but unfortunately several of them were poor! ”

"Since those city lords can't come out with money, can it be difficult for our Qin city lords to come out?"

"Hehe, our Qin City Lord didn't come out if he couldn't come out with the money, and he didn't need to come out with the money. ”

"What's going on?"

"Didn't the former city lord retire and leave?"

"That's right, he said that he was injured in a battle with the wolf clan, and he was going to return home. ”

"Tell the old man to return to his hometown, you don't know this, right! Before the handover of the former city lord was over, he was surrounded by the Qin city lord's mansion!"

"What, there is such a thing, the former city lord of the family has returned to his hometown, and it is not good to let people leave, is this Qin city lord doing a little too much!"

"Haha, you don't understand this, right! Actually, Qin Xiu City Lord is not an exaggeration at all, he is for us ordinary people!

"Why?"

"You can't imagine it, when the Qin City Lord leads someone to open the hundreds of carloads that the previous City Lord was going to pack and take away, what do you know?"

"Could it be that he has been greedy for ink all these years?"

"Even if he has been greedy for ink over the years, it is estimated that he will not fight much!"

"I don't know what it is?"

"It's the money and food we were extorted by the wolf people last time. ”

"Money and food, money and wealth are good to say, how can there be food in such hundreds of boxes?"

"The grain has been resold by him a long time ago, and it is not the first time he has done this, and it is said that it is not once or twice that he has eaten empty wages in the past. I've been doing this for years. ”

"Wow, didn't the money that was extorted by the Barbarian Wolf Clan not long ago be taken away by the Barbarian Wolf Clan?"

"That's not it, it's just that it was only given a small part of the Barbarian Wolf Clan, and the big head was all pocketed by the Thousand City Lords, but after the Qin City Lord took over, someone told the Qin City Lord!"

"Then will so much silver taels be returned to rich families and wealthy merchants?"

"I'm afraid it's not easy to do, so the Qin City Lord plans to spend all these silver taels on the newly built city wall. ”

"Oh, so we don't have to spend money on the wall, and the new wall is better......"

With the gradual construction of the city by Qin Xiu, the people calmed down the continuous controversy for several days, and appeased the labor and wealth of many people.

At the same time that Qin Xiu sent people to build the city, Qin Xiu still began to recruit soldiers in the city, although according to the official position, Qin Xiu could not recruit too many soldiers, but after all, Qin Xiu was still the city lord of Huanwang City, so as Huanwang City, there was still a certain number of troops, and this army would naturally be caught by Qin Xiu in his hands, of course, the salary of this army would be supported by the taxes of Huanwang City and the imperial court's subsidies to the border passes.

Because he was a soldier in the city, Qin Xiu began to continuously teach them the secrets of bowmen, equipment soldiers (using trebuchets and crossbows during siege), archers (longbows, short bows), shield hands, swordsmen, axe soldiers, pikemen, etc., so that many soldiers who had just joined the army had a rapid improvement in strength.

Even compared to the original defenders in the city, it was much stronger, and some of them were still a little resentful about Qin Xiu's copying of the previous city lord's home, and they were a little estranged from Qin Xiu, but after seeing that Qin Xiu really had the ability, they all came to Qin Xiu one by one and asked him to teach them these secrets as well.

Qin Xiu found that after most of these soldiers returned to normal, they were treated equally, and there was not much difference, anyway, as long as the other party was willing to learn, the problem was not too big, and if he really had the heart of rebellion one day, Qin Xiu could completely cut or delete the other party's skills.

Just when the imperial court was bent on dealing with the rebellion in the territory, and Qin Xiu was concentrating on the reinforcement of the city and the recruitment and training of soldiers, the barbarian wolf clan began to be dissatisfied again, but fortunately, they were also very self-aware and knew that they were not Qin Xiu's opponents at all.

It's just that Christian, the lord of the Barbarian Wolf Clan, was very unwilling, and not only did he not win any victory.
